He saidever since the Puco failed to review a rate increase proposed by Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc.,and sat on the matter for a year and a half, the two bodies have been at each other. The request for a resolution from the Village he feels is just another way the Consumers' Counsel is trying to drag everyone in on their fight. Vice Mayor Morrow agreed, and felt offended that they would seek a resolution from the Village when Council doesn' t know Columbia' s side of the issue. He suggested that Council not enter into this fight. The matter was closed by consensus of Council.MEETING ANNOUNCEMENTSMarch 8, 1990. at 10:00 a.m. -Hearing on Certified Oil' s ClC/2 Liquor License Request -Licking County Administration Building.

T. 0.letter from Granvilleand Recommendationsfor Pedestrian Safety in the Downtown AreaIn past months, concerns for safety of pedestrians inthe downtown and elementary school areas has become a topicof discussion by both Granville Elementary P. T. 0. and VillageCouncil.Upon reading sections. of the Ohio Manual of UniformTraffic Control Devices and consulting with variousprofessionals in the field, I submit to you the followingfindings and possible recommendations.In summary, the letter from Granville Elementary P. T. 0.has requested that pedestrian signal indicators be installedat the intersection of Main and Broadway. Jim Howard of JessHoward Electric is currently preparing estimates as to thecost of installing pedestrian signal indicators at thisintersection. As soon as cost estimates are available, I willlet you know.The Granville Elementary P. T. 0. has also requested thatflashing school speed limit signs be installed at North Pearland College Streets. All installations such as this must beconducted within a school zone where the 20 MPH speed limitis to be applied. North Pearl Street is not considered withinthe school zone. In order for such an installation to belegal, the official school zone would have to be expanded.Attached, please find Section SC of the Ohio Manual ofUniform Traffic Control Devices which defines school speed limits zones, within school zones, and other pertinent information.Discussions have also developed concerning safety andlegality of the crosswalk on Broadway between Main andProspect Streets. In this instance, there are two options available. One is that the Village eliminate the crosswalk and require pedestrians to cross at· Main and ProspectStreets. If this option is considered, I recommend that pedestrian signal indicators should be installed at both intersections of Prospect and Main, on Broadway.MEMOPage 2As to the legality of the crosswalk, Section 4511. 46 ofthe Ohio Revised Code, states that all vehicles shall yieldthe right of way to pedestrians lawfully crossing the roadwaywithin the crosswalk.Attached is Section 3B-32 of the Ohio Manual of UniformTraffic C6ntrol Devices. This section explains the legalityof crosswalks. In Summary, It states that "crosswalk markingsacross roadways on which traffic is not controlled by trafficsignals or stop signs must also serve to warn the motorist ofa pedestrian crossing point, and, at non-intersectionallocations will legally establish the crosswalk".If discussions result in retaining the crosswalk on Broadway between Main and Prospect Streets, I recommend thata span wire be installed to mount a 12 inch yellow or redflashing warning light and two signs approximately 12" x 24"containing yellow background with black lettering to readCROSSWALK" to warn the motorist of the pedestrian. crossingpoint.Within the next couple. of days, I should be receivingestimates from Jess Howard Electric on the cost for eachdifferent proposal discussed in this memo. When it isavailable, I will let you know.If you have apffl questions, please contact me.1/ 0Mark G. Zarl#AughService Director1Granville Elementary P.T.0.310 N.

Ol t2-In view of the accident involving Henry Senn, the GranvilleElementary P.T.0. would like to recommend that the villagetrustees install walk lights at the main intersection of Broadwayand Mail Street.It has been noticed that traffic often does not slow down onNorth Pearl, and that out-of-town trucks do not know that schoolchildren cross the street at North Pearl and College. We wouldtherefore like to propose that a flashing school zone light beinstalled on North Pearl to alert traffic to slow down during thetimes children are walking to and from school.The safety Of our children is of utmost concern to Granvilleparents. We would appreciate your thoughtful consideration of ourrequests, and look forward to a reply at your earliestconvenience.Sincerely,CZUGranville Elementary P.T.0.corresponding secretary3-It7'he worcl STOP shall liot be placecl on thepave,ne,it iri aclvatice of a St(1,, li,ie, 1111]ess everyvehield is recluired to stoi,at all titiies.

They feel that the controls that are in place donot adequately direct drivers and that pedestrians are lulledinto a false sense of security when crossing here. To thesefeelings, I can offer the following:1. In my almost ten years here, I can only recall twoaccidents at this crosswalk. One was a young girl in a wheelchair who was being pushed across the crosswalk by hermother early in the morning with the sun low in the sky. Awest bound motorist with a frosty windshield never the even saw girl, hit her broadside yanking her from her mothershands, and knocked her some forty feet down the road. Due tothe protection provided by the wheel chair, the girl was notseriously injured. This could have occurred in any othercrosswalk in town which runs north and south. The other was a lady just in the last couple of months who was knocked downby a car backing out of one of the parking spaces adjacent to the crosswalk. The lady' s arm was broken. In addition tothese two accidents, I have personally witnessed several close calls here over the years.2. Having just finished my annual report, I can tell you withsome certainty that there are more dangerous places in the Village that are not necessarily generating this concern. S.R. 16 and Cherry Valley Rd. experienced 23 traffic accidents between March 31 and December 31 last year. Nine ofthose 23 accidents involved injuries to persons. Thats just in nine months, not ten years! We had five accidents atCherry Valley and Newark Rd. Two of those, as I recall, were fairly serious injury accidents. Can we even justify looking at the crosswalk, let alone spending money on it, when there are other places that we not only feel are unsafe, but that we have statistics to show are locations where more people are being injured73. There is no doubt in my mind we could make this crosswalk safer and that some of these "feelings" are founded. I agree that motorists could be more safely directed and that pedestrians, who are not familiar with this crosswalk, areMEMO1maybe getting a sense of security they should not necessarilyhave. However, driving and walking where cars drive areinherently unsafe activities and I think we could say or feelthe same about any other location in the Village where thesetwo activities are carried out simultaneously. It will alwaysbe, in my opinion, physically impossible for us to remove alldanger from any location with which we must deal. As aresult, we must be governed by a a rule of "what isreasonable" when dealing with traffic controls where everthey may be. (Shew! You asked for this!)Is the crosswalk marked and controlled in a reasonablemanner7 I think two accidents in ten years would indicate itis, but that the large number of close calls would indicatewe could do something to make it better.Alternatives:1. Leave the crosswalk the way it is. This would probably bethe most popular thing to do with everyone except those whohave complained to you about this. You could justify thiswith accident stats, also. However, if someone is seriouslyinjured there after we decide to do nothing with it, we will undoubtedly have some problems.2. Eliminate the crosswalk. This would, I think, be unpopular with most of very the community. It could, addtionally,create a jay-walking problem which may be more unsafe than what we already have. (We have not actively enforced the jay- walking ordinance since I have been here. We may, however, beforced to do this if it becomes a problem and this is not one of the more popular types of enforcement activity in which we could engage.)3. Change the existing controls at the crosswalk.a. Simple Solution: How about a sign at either end of the crosswalk warning pedestrians to cross with caution7This should eliminate that false sense of security that a stranger may get.b. Intermediate Solution: We could eliminate the light and signage in the center of the street and string two cables between the poles at either end of the crosswalk. To these cables we could put large yield or stop signs above each lane of travel, or whatever other signage we deem appropriate.c. Costly Solution: We could put a pedestrain activated light system in where suspended flashing red lights would be activated whenever a pedestrian wanted to cross here.F·If you still feel we are obligated to do something with theintersection, I think the simple solution above is quitereasonable, prudent, and should eliminate most of theproblems.If I can be of further assistance in this matter, just askme.Steve CartnalChief of PoliceiFRIDAY, APRIL 20th12: 00 noon -12: 30 p.m.to2:00 p.m.GRANVILLE EARTH DAY 1990PROPOSED SCHEDULE OF EVENTSEarth Day Opening CeremonyReading of the Granville Village Earth Day ProclamationVillage Mayor, President of Denison, Superintendent ofGranville Schools, Director of Welsh Hills School, andothersLocation: Granville Village Park near Village HallGranville Earth Day ParadeBegin at Granville Elementary School, proceed south onGranger St.,west on Broadway, end at Plum St.;return east on Broadway and disband to join spectatorsElementary and secondary students return to schools, normalafternoon busing schedule3: 00 p.m -Earth Day Celebration on Denison University Lower Lawnbetween Monomoy and Stone HallInformation Booths, Activities, Music, Community PicnicSATURDAY, APRIL 21st9: 00 a.m. -Information Booths and Exhibits by student, community, andpublic interest groups on sidewalks in downtown GranvilleGranvilleD/enison Run and Walka- t-hon, time and route to be determinedOther Activities being planned: Denison Bioreserve tours, Denison Homestead open house, Raccoon Creek clean-upSubmitted to the Granville Village Councilby Tod Frolking and Robert Alrutz, 6 March 1990
